德国前交通部长安德烈亚斯·绍伊尔及其共同被告前国务秘书格哈德·舒尔茨因向议会委员会作伪证而在柏林地方法院受审1。两人被控在调查一项已失败的外国驾驶员高速公路通行费计划的议会委员会面前隐瞒关键信息1。具体而言，他们被指控隐瞒在签署运营合同时已知晓欧洲法院会宣布该计划违反欧盟法规1。
该通行费计划于2019年被欧洲法院驳回，违反欧盟规则，德国政府因此被迫向相关公司支付2.43亿欧元的赔偿1。审判计划进行12天，判决预期于2026年11月25日做出1。如被判有罪，两名被告可能面临3个月至5年的监禁1。
Former Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer and ex-State Secretary Gerhard Schulz faced trial in Berlin Regional Court on charges of perjury before a parliamentary committee investigating a failed highway toll scheme for foreign drivers.1 The two defendants are accused of concealing their knowledge that the European Court of Justice would declare the toll plan incompatible with EU law when they signed the operating contract with the private company.1
The toll program was struck down by the European Court of Justice in 2019 for violating EU regulations, forcing the German government to pay compensation of 243 million euros to the affected companies.1 The trial is scheduled to run for 12 days, with a verdict expected on November 25, 2026.1 If convicted, both defendants face potential sentences ranging from three months to five years in prison.1
